1. Clients can shop once every two weeks. We recommend making a note on your calendar the day you shop to adhere to the once every two week rule.

2. When arriving go into the Lichenburger Room and get a number. You will be called when it is time to shop.

3. Upon entering the Pantry, give your last name to the check-in volunteer.

4. Once we record your visit, you can begin shopping.

5. One person can use one brownbag, families with 2 or more people can usetwo brown bags. You need to use our bags to insure that each shopper gets their appropriate share of food.

6. You will be directed to the “shopping” cabinets which you will go to in specific order. This avoids crowding and confusion.

7. When choosing boxes of cereal (corn flakes, multigrain flakes) a maximum of two boxes can be put into a plastic bag. If you need more than two boxes, then those go into your brown bag.

8. Once you have shopped in all three cabinets, you can choose items from the table, i.e. bread, pastries, fresh vegetables, fruit. Any item from the table can be put into a plastic bag. It does not have to fit into your brown bag. We ask that you be fair in taking appropriate amounts of these items. Some days we are limited in our supplies. These items vary depending on the day you are shopping.

9. One of the volunteers will offer you a choice of meat or fish and a frozen vegetable, etc. We also have offerings from the refrigerator such as eggs, milk, cheese, butter or margarine, etc. These items also vary depending on what we have on that particular day. These cold items are put into a separate bag or bags for you.
